Poem. Memories are Golden

Memories are Golden
A whole year has passed since that terrible day
The time had come when he was taken away
With only one brother it was a huge blow
Why did he really have to go?

Bro had lots of illness to bare
Never once did he ask me to share
He just carried on with a cheerful smile
Just like our mum, it was his style

The last twelve months have gone really fast
But sadness and memories will always last
I still wait for the telephone to ring
To have a chat was a regular thing

Now there is emptiness where life had been real
It’s hard to except the pain I still feel
Knowing he’s at rest in a wonderful place
I’ll remember the goodbye look on his face

As time moves on, quotes pop in my head
Bro would remember our past, many things we had said
These are valued treasures I want to hold
Maybe lots more that had never been told

The years will go by until it’s my time to leave
To the wonderful meeting place with family we’ll achieve
With mother, father, grandparents all there
To celebrate unity with my bro I will share
